Hard Money Loan Florida Summerland Key

What is hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a loan given to your borrower from a lender based primarily on the value of the underlying collateralized asset. Traditional banks and lenders focus primarily on the credit and income of the borrower where asset based lenders aka hard money lenders focus primarily on the value of the asset used as collateral for the loan. Where conventional loans are generally for 15–20 year periods, hard money loans are used as a short-term option (1–3 years typically) as a bridge to acquire a rehab, or stabilize a commercial, retail, office, industrial, multi–family, or single family residential dwelling.

Why exactly would a person choose a hard money loan (asset–based loan) over a conventional loan offered by a bank with lower rates?

There are many reasons why a borrower would choose to use private funding or a hard money loan over a cheaper traditional funding: (1) Quick Funding– traditional banks take a minimum of 45 days to finance an individual family residential loan, any where between 60–90 days to fund a commercial loan, and over 120 days to fund a development loan. Whereas, a hard money loan is commonly funded within 7–14 days. (2) Property Needs Work– because of the conventional bank‘s really conservative underwriting guidelines, most will not lend on properties needing repair. For example, a loan secured by a property in need of repairs is quite rarely funded by banks before it can be used; hence the borrower uses a hard money lender payoff the hard money loan with conventional lending, and then to buy and rehabilitate the property. Another example would be a commercial property that has no tenants… a bank won’t loan until the property is leased up. Nonetheless, short term funding will be provided by a personal lender to the borrower to purchase the property and rent it up. Once the property is stabilized for a particular time period, the hard money loan will be refinanced by a commercial lender with normal financing. (3) Not based entirely on credit or income– Traditional banks rely greatly on a borrower’s credit score, previous income, and ability to repay the debt. Consequently traditional banks for normal funding consistently turn down even quality borrowers such as for instance physicians, lawyers, and solicitors who’ve high incomes but also have lots of debt. Therefore, there’s an enormous need for private lenders who look the value of the underlying asset in comparison with the loan amount versus the borrower’s credit history. We usually look for a 50% – 65% LTV in our loans. What that means is we normally lend out 65% of the appraised value of the property to the borrower.

What are the interest rates involved in hard money loans?

Hard money loan rates normally range from 10% all the way up to 15%. The rate by the lender is dependent on looking at a combination of factors such as: (1) loan to value ratio, (2) borrower’s credit score & income, (3) the property state and location, (4) borrower’s “skin in the game” (sum of cash equity in the property). At Capital Funding Financial we offer the lowest rates around starting at 8.9%*

What are the fees involved in asset based lending?

Hard money lenders in Summerland Key charge financing origination fee of 3% to 5% of the loan amount. The lender will then charge various fees for document preparation by a lawyer, financing processing fee, evaluation fee from a completely independent appraiser, and an application fee. Capital Funding Financial offers straight forward conditions without all of the hidden junk fees and charges an extremely low origination fee of only 2%*

Can the loan fees be paid from your loan proceeds?

Yes, so long as there’s a big enough equity cushion in the real estate. Most of the time all of the fees (other than the application fee) are paid from your actual loan earnings.

Is there a prepayment fee with hard money loans?

For example, with a 6 pre payment fee, if the borrower should happen to repay the loan in 3 months, there would be 3 extra months of interest due. This requirement is put in place so that the lender receives at least a small return for the time, hassle and apportionment of its funds to your borrower. If the borrower repays the loan after six months, subsequently no pre-payment fee will be issued.

How quickly can a typical hard money loan close?

At Capital Funding Financial, we are a direct lender and have the ability to close loans within a days when given a complete loan package (credit report, income documentation, independent appraisal, title commitment). The typical deal takes about one or two weeks to finance as an independent appraisal and title report need to be run on the property.

When implementing is an evaluation required?

Yes, hard money loans generally demand comparative sales analysis, broker price opinion, or an assessment. At Capital Funding Financial, we order an appraisal that is independent on the subject property.

When finishing flip or rehabilitation job & a repair, what’ll the hard money lender require?

Besides the obvious 35–40% equity cushion, the lender will need to see the range of work described with a cost analysis worksheet and timeline. The lender will use this as helpful information in releasing resources for rehabilitation goals. Nothing ever goes as intended when performing a rehab; hence the lender will want to see the borrowers experience in managing or performing property repairs. The lender will release funds in draws and require an inspection to be made after each draw is complete. The lender will even require income statement and a credit report in the borrower to show that the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. Nonetheless, hard money lenders focus primarily on the asset value of the collateral rather than the credit score.
